What is the best rear spoiler for C5 FRC for track speeds under 120 mph?

Do NOT want to do Wing

Thanks!

Rear lip spoiler is for flipping the air beyond the rear facia. Spoilers have much less downforce as compared to drag than wings. That's why you see most dedicated racers using wings.

Are there any functional diffusers available for these cars?

lol thanks but like i said. I do not want a wing

Any for the street are cosmetic in nature and not true hard core racing diffusers.

You might try Advance Composite Products. Nice and sharp people, but it is expensive!

Is the old T1? spoiler still made?

Nice picture, would that be tall enough to do much?

The owner was a local and friend, he did say on here it helped with stability

Most of our talk was on a local forum that is no longer around, he did say lap times dropped at VIR could be the setup or just learning to drive the track better.

Find an extra trunk lid and put a wing on it for track days. My $0.02

iof you are dead set on spoiler, look at what the SSP autocross guys are doing. those work for low speeds, but I would think would be super dragy at high speed.

great idea thanks! I could not find the SSp forum or any online pictures of there super draggy spoilers. Can you please send me a URL ie internet address?

I check my track average speed and it is usually around 40 mph on our tight tracks, hit around 100-110 on the straights but that is a small part of the total track. Even our two large tracks i barely hit 130. And when you reach top speed, you immediately brake for the turn. I just want to get rid of the rear wiggle when you hit the brakes hard at the end of the straight. Doubt the drag costs me more than .5 second. I can make that up with higher in the entry-exit speeds on the turns



Did find that Katech says they have a 4 inch spoiler, but no pictures, plus they want 700 dollars

thanks Again!

If anyone finds a solution please pm me so I can beat this guy around the track.

I seriously doubt adding a spoiler at the speeds you are talking will make any real difference in regards to the wiggle. Even if it did, it is only a band-aid.
Fix the real problem!
The geometry is wrong on your setup and you probably have too much nose dive under braking.
Fix those things and the wiggle will go away and you'll have better mechanical grip so you will have better corner entry, corner exit and no additional drag.

My no spoiler/wing doesn't wiggle.

So if he drives with his wallet in his pocket then he should go faster

What he said...I got rid of the brake wiggle when I got a proper track alignment from Gran Turismo East
